WHEN: The last time the two sides met was during the 2014/15 season. Mowden Park ran out 41-12 winners at The Northern Echo Arena and 33-29 winners at Priory Park.

WHAT: The Second Team known as the “Lions” compete in the Bateman BMW Premier League consistently finishing in the top two or three whilst often doing the double of winning both the league and league Cup competition. Over the years the success of this side stems from the policy of introducing the Clubs youth section players into the adult environment alongside experienced senior players with the intention of developing them into 1st team National league players.
